    About this ebook

    This handbook of American Judo is a thorough study in the methods and techniques of hand-fighting. It is based upon the classic jiu-jitsu but incorporates most recent improvements in the scientific development of modes of personal combat. The first purpose of this book is to develop a technique of disabling and, if necessary, seriously injuring an opponent. The second purpose is to give the reader adequate skill and knowledge in defending himself against an assailant. Includes 200 photographs illustrating jiu-jitsu, wrestling, foot-fighting and police tactics.

      Something I always get asked when teaching self-defense is, “What’s the best martial art?” That’s actually a multitiered question that requires a multitiered answer, and before I reply, I usually ask a question of my own: “Best martial art for what?”

      DISABLING BLOWS

      THE HACK AND THE JAB IN JUDO

      The hack is a hand blow delivered with the little finger side of the open hand. The fingers are held extended, stiff and close together. The thumb may or may not be extended. The blow is given with a swift, sharp, hacking movement with such abrupt force that it can either break a bone or paralyze a nerve. Continual practice of pounding the underside of the hand upon a hard, flat object such as a table is advised for toughening the striking surface of the hand. After the hand is thus prepared it can be further toughened by pounding the edge or corner of an object.

      When administering the blow, contact is made with that surface of the edge of the hand between the wrist and the base of the little finger. The fingers themselves are not used in striking, because they may slide over each other and make the blow less effective.

      The jab is made with the closed fist, the knuckle of the middle finger protruding. The blow with the fist covers too great an area, whereas the knuckle of the finger, being pointed, will localize the blow and thereby intensify it.
